FEAST on Scriptures!

(the students got these before Halloween, in case they didn't have a costume for the ward trunk-or-treat!)

Take a big bite out of reading the whole Doctrine & Covenants by May!

Me, aka Mrs. Rejoice & No Fear

Section 25 is full of good qualities for young women to emulate. I told my 9 YW students they were elect and chosen and sent them out of the seminary classroom, gave them sparkly homemade Miss America sashes while Brother Landbeck gave the 5 young men a pep talk about appreciating with spiritual eyes the values that the Lord pointed out to Emma Smith. Miss Given to Reading and Writing Much; Miss Virtue; Miss Faithful; Miss Comforting & Consoling Words; Miss Cleaving to Covenants; Miss Unworldly; Miss Meekness; Miss Expounding Scriptures; Miss Exhorting Church

Burger King is very kind when we ask for crowns for our Bible Study Class for teenagers. Crowns of Righteousness for the guys and the ladies.

We've been talking about how to identify inspiration and the spirit of revelation, how we will know in our minds and hearts when something is true and right. (Scripture Mastery Doctrine & Covenants 8:2-3)

Dove (wedding) candy in plastic (wedding favor) hearts. I was hoping they would be minty, but they are slightly acidic lemony, almost like sweet tarts.

Pointing out when the Spirit is testifying in class is my daily goal for Daily Seminary. Devotionals help bring that spirit into class.

Happy Moroni Day!

(LAST NIGHT and..)today is the day, when Joseph Smith was first visited by the angel Moroni in 1823. And then Moroni returned each year on this same day to teach Joseph more and help prepare him for the work to come. Celebrate!

Make a VIDEO!

Look here for LDS youth video contest $500 prizes! Be sure to read the guidelines and rules (specifically about music you can use) and get busy filming!

Today in class we started out in Doctrine & Covenants Section 1 reading the invitation to ALL, even to the isles of the sea. Leis and island stick game completed the morning.

No School Monday...Thursday...Tuesday...

The first Friday Food Day went marvelously! Thank you to Sheridan family. Perfect!

And just for fun, a view of Utah mountains: the world's biggest water balloon fight

Seminary Scoop

Hope you had a great summer! It is ending in a week! Brother Landbeck and I squeezed in a temple trip last Saturday.

First day of seminary =September 1st, WEDNESDAY 5:55 am! YOU WILL NOT NEED TO BRING YOUR SCRIPTURES TO CLASS! Leave them home in a convenient place to read. Doctrine & Covenants books will be supplied for you in class.

Sunday 29th at 12:15 (right after Church) in the Relief Society Room there will be a short meeting for students and parents (no younger or older siblings invited). We will go over policies, dealines, Generation of Excellence, give out calendars and lists and scripture matery lists and assignments for devotionals.

Please come with your parents (we understand if one parent needs to take care of younger siblings and only one can come).

Ice Cream social immediately aftewards!
